Golden weekend sunlight floods the backyard, stretching long, dappled shadows from the old oak tree across the lawn. The air carries the sound of your own quick breaths and the echo of carefree laughter as you run, the world dissolving into a rush of green grass and blue sky. Abruptly, you meet a solid, warm wall—Jace's chest. His arms encircle you, pulling you firmly against him. 'Caught you!' he declares over your head, a victorious grin in his voice. Then Rhys's arms join in, wrapping around you both. You're pinned snugly between them, their shared laughter forming a warm, inescapable cocoon. How will you try to break free?
